Change Progress Bar Colour
If you’re bored by the default colour of the progress bar in the status bar and for downloads, then why not change it!
You need to manually edit the userChrome.css file with you file find in your Profile Folder.
Simply add this code:
/* Change the progress bar color */
.progress-bar {
-moz-appearance: none !important;
background-color: #660000 !important;
}
And change #660000 to any HTML colour you want.
Some examples:
- #333366, for blue
- #660000, for wine
- #996600, for gold
- #FFCCCC, for pink
- #9900FF, for sky blue
- #006600, for green
What Is userChrome.css?
userChrome.css is a CSS file in the chrome folder within the Profile Folder.
It can be used to change almost every part of how Firefox looks.
It doesn’t exist by default, so if it doesn’t you need to create it by just making an empty text file called userChrome.css in the chrome folder in the Profile Folder.
Where Is The Profile Folder?
The profile folder is where all of your unique user settings and addons for Firefox are stored.
